The In Crowd….

When I was younger and thinner I went into Abercrombie and tried on a pair of shorts in an 8. They were cute with bows (I’m a sucker for a bow) but they left little to the imagination for what kind of underwear I might be wearing. Not being comfortable having shorts at my underwear line I thought maybe if I size up they will sit lower on the hip. I asked the sales girl if they had that in a size 10 and I got this reply “oh we don't carry that item in a size 10...could you imagine how bad that would look. We don't cater to the obese. Besides those fit you fine". I promptly left. Recently the CEO of Abercrombie has come under fire for his comments: With such comments you would think that I would boycott Abercrombie. Nope just the opposite. Oh I’m not going to give them any more business but I do own some Abercrombie stuff. I own a few size 10 jeans that I can squeeze into. And I own quite a few men’s sweatshirts (the women’s are too tiny) that I wear to score keep in … [Read more...]

With Sprinkles On Top….

Now you are probably looking at this cake and thinking aww how sweet Peabody made a cake for a 6 year old girl. Nope. That cake is for a 40 year old man. :P I know it seems silly for a grown man to be getting a pink cake with sprinkles for his birthday but MDP is pretty confident in his sexuality (as am I ;) ) so he can handle it. When I was trying to figure out what to make MDP for a birthday cake (he is not a big fan of chocolate) I asked for suggestions on FB (are you following me on FB? If not, would you?) and boy did I get a lot suggestions (yay!). Other than making me hungry for cake, someone put a link to a Strawberry Milk Cheesecake that Sprinkle Bakes made. I had it pinned already but forgot about it as I often do. I knew immediately that would be the cake. After all it’s way too festive and MDP LOVES Strawberry Milk (heck I just made him bark). Problem is that Heather (Sprinkle Bakes) excels at decorating and Peabody excels at knowing people who are good at … [Read more...]

Unsolicited Advice…

April 30, 2011 by · 9 Comments

Peabody’s current top ten advice to all the people who didn’t ask for it in the first place. :P 1. If you talk crap behind someone’s back, don’t be shocked or upset if someone does it to you. At some point in your life, even though it’s never right, you said something not so great about someone, maybe even your friend. So just know that if you are willing to talk about someone behind their back, they are willing to do the same. It’s human nature. 2. Treat others how you want to be treated. I’m a firm believer that Karma is a only a bitch if you are. If you go through life being an a-hole or a bitch don’t be shocked when people treat you horrible. You can’t call someone a pathetic excuse for a human being and expect them to come back and tell you what a great person you are. 3. Buy clothing that fits. When I was a WW leader my biggest advice for people was to buy clothing that fit. No one ever wants to do this. No one wants to admit they are the size that they … [Read more...]
